The first element of the International Space Station (ISS) was launched in November 1998. Since then, ISS construction has progressed steadily, and ISS has been operated safely. Since the first permanent crew boarded the ISS in November 2000, various experiments have been conducted. NASDA astronaut Mr. Soichi Noguchi will fly on the STS-114 (ULF1) utilization and supply mission scheduled in early 2003 as a Mission Specialist. Japan is continuing its development and preparation for ISS operation and utilization. The Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) "Kibo" overall system test started in November 2001 at Tsukuba Space Center (TKSC) and it was successfully completed in May 2002. Subsequently, the integration test with the Operation Control System (OCS) has been prepared to verify compatibility with JEM on-board software. The development of the Centrifuge, H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) and JEM experiment equipment is also proceeding smoothly. Furthermore, Japan conducted precursor missions as an early utilization program for promoting the JEM research program. An overview of the progress and current status of Japan's Space Station program will be presented.
